Web Conn Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 The NWA only has four tag teams really the Ascension could be a welcomed addition. Conor O’Brien and Rick Victor as a jobber tag team in AEW feels so Mike Enos and Wayne Bloom in WCW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume there’s a 90 day non-compete as part of the release. Usually, when guys are involuntarily released, I believe they have the option between severance with a 90 day non-compete or no severance and they’re free immediately. Given that these releases were requested, I doubt WWE would give them freely without the non-compete. (ACH was obviously a different situation.) If it is a 90 day period, they’re free in plenty of time for Wrestlemania weekend. 47 minutes ago, West Newbury Bad Boy said: Viktor and Spears is the perfect bland mediocre good hand team.

colonial Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Ascension would be a decent fit for NWA or even Impact, if they opt to keep teaming post WWE. Harper as a big heel hoss in AEW would be worth a watch. He could also fit as a gaijin upper carder in AJ or NOAH. GoD seem a bit stale at the moment in NJ. Adding Hunico could freshen things up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely there's a 90 day lock-in because it's not a case of contracts expiring. AEW Dark isn't TV, strictly speaking, so that *might* be a grey area. But it probably isn't. 90 days making special 'limited time' appearances could potentially be reasonably lucrative though for a guy like FORMER INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION Lukke Happer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And AAA owns the Mistico name hence why the original Sin Cara has used like 3 names since leaving You mean CMLL owning the Mistico name. I think AAA might own the Myztizez name.

SorceressKnight Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I don't even know if the Ascension wouldn't be good picks for AEW. Their NXT Tag Title run is enough to get some people excited by them there, AEW loves tag teams and angsty dark "goffik" gimmicks, and they'd be a better Dark Order than the Dark Order are (the Dark Order's been one of the turds in the punchbowl for AEW for a while now.) It's the weakness with how good the WWE roster is- The Ascension were the low team on the totem pole, and even they could potentially make WWE rue the day they let them walk away.

Coletti Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Ascension were over in NXT and showed they had personality and could be funny with their interactions alongside Breezango. I think they could be good as a hoss team with a tweaked gimmick. Edited December 9, 2019 by christopher.annino 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 The Ascension's cheesy midcard tag team essence belongs on POWERRR. That is like the most obvious fit for them that I can think of. No need for a gimmick overhaul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hunico was one of my favorite C show Wrestlers when I used to watch all the C shows before the Network came along. I had seen a little of his work in CHIKARA as Incognito so I wasn't surprised that he did well as the Sin Cara replacement. He had a few memorable moments when he took over the Sin Cara gimmick but I enjoyed him as Hunico the most. I wonder if he'll go back to that type of gimmick or as Incognito. I'm sure Harper's the most likely to go to AEW, I'd personally like for him to get a run in New Japan even though they have Hoyt and Hoyt has really come along since he's went back single but Harper is much better. Either way I'm happy he got out of WWE and I hope he gets to have a good run again. As cartoony as the Ascension is they had a really good run in NXT although I hated them being used as KENTAs first feud. Them being LOD knockoffs on the main roster wasn't going to get over at all but they managed to actually be funny in the segments they got on tv. I see them going to NWA and HoH and Shows like that. I'm surprised WWE didn't let them go earlier like before AEW became a thing but good for them now they can make more money. They aren't the Revival but I don't think they are completely useless as a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
